This past week we all went down to Florida along with our friends Brandon and Daniel for the Surfing America Prime in New Smyrna and the 3 star Quiksilver Pro Junior in Cocoa Beach. Darsha was the only one who competed in the Prime and she got third in the under 18 division. At the Junior pro Darsha made it to the quarter finals in some typically lackluster Cocoa beach surf, and Shane got an =17th among the field of 80 mens competitors. This was Tyler's very first pro junior event and he surfed all the way to the quarters for an =13th overall and a $500 bonus for his efforts, and he even nearly made his quarter final when he got the highest score of the heat at a 7.4 but couldn't find the minimal 4 point backup score he needed to advance through the heavy international heat.
A big thanks to our good friends Ben and Zan for letting us all stay with them and their amazing hospitality.
